While the protocols that make multicast work can be extremely complicated, configuring a router is very simple. The following is a very simplified sample configuration for Cisco routers to show what is minimally needed to enable a router for native multicast. In this example, the router is homed only to Sprint and is using Sprint’s RP. ip multicast-routing ip pim rp-address 144.232.187.198 ip pim accept-rp 144.232.187.198 ! int Ethernet0 ip pim sparse-mode ! int Serial0 ip pim sparse-mode Repeat for all interfaces through which multicast traffic should flow. For further Cisco configuration examples, we strongly encourage you to visit http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fipr_c/ipcpt3/1cfmulti.htm.
